I remember suggesting a blog to a bar owner, it was 3 years ago and he was in great need of a site but didn’t have the resources to have one made. (drunk and young) I told him I could make him a blog free of charge, oddly enough, he took this as an insult (what?). He said: why would anyone want to snoop in my personal affairs?
Similarly, I was reading this post from a local web blog; the author explains that, upon explaining blogs to her aunt, her aunt sarcastically replied she would make a blog about her cat and dog. Hey! This author makes a blog about raising her child! I am sure many, specifically parents to be, benefit from her experiences and teachings; besides, people read blogs about cats and dogs all the time.
To emphasize on my point, and tackle it from a business perspective, I visited the previous author’s husband’s blog (that’s a mouthful)… and voila! I found this: IBM Makes Money Off My Blog; You want numbers? try $250k (estimated from that sale). And guess what, he makes money from IBM too. This second author is a ‘Social Software Evangelist’ the first, is an Engineer on Information Technologies; they know what they’re talking about.
If you’re too busy for updates on a business blog, try a newsletter, we can help you with that. If you’re super busy and still want to be part of the revolution, use Twitter; it is the simplest way to maintain others informed about your business. Our newsletter and blog often get us out of tight spots in the current economy. I’m sure having one can help your business as well.
Can’t afford to hire a web developer right now? you can make your own blog with Blogger and people won’t think any less of you. Try testing the waters first, there are many more blogs from people in your area, sites like Puerto Blogs aggregate feeds near me (in this case Puerto Rico).
So if you need help on blogs, contact us and we’ll tell you more about them. You can see our company’s design and development portfolio here.
